Recently, I'd been prevented from doing a type of recording (making a sketch) at both the Peabody-Essex Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art.* So I love this band's friendly attitude! They "encourage people to record their live performances." (They even offer the help of their sound engineers.) "Video recording (for private/personal use) is also allowed." And, if you give them a copy for their archives, they'll provide blanks and postage. Now, how friendly can you get? Oh, and they play great music, so you really want to record them. They were recorded (sketched) at The Press Room.

Name the band.

* At three other venues I've been stopped from drawing. 1) By security in Filene's basement (however, one look at my scrawly drawings disabused them of their presumption that I was stealing dress designs). 2) By homeland security at JFK Airport (people drawing airplanes apparently made them nervous). 3) At Monte Carlo (my sketch of a friend at a gaming table unfortunately included a likeness of the croupier. The security chief, wagged his head, shook his finger at me, and shredded the sketch — but he returned the rest of my sketchbook. Whew!).
